#Youth armoured combat in Lochac has three divisions, based on age, with different calibration, armour, and weapon standards. The age ranges are:

#Some children are very small or very large for their age, and some grow up earlier or later than others, so you might be moved to a higher division, or a lower division, if your parent asks for that and the marshals say that is allowed.
##Younger combatants may be moved to a higher division or older combatants may be allowed to remain in a lower division, on a case-by-case basis, at the request of the parent and with the approval of the marshals.

#As there often may be a small number of youth combatants at an event or practice, combatants may fight others in another division with the following provisions:
#You have to follow the rules for the division of your opponent if they are younger than you. This means that if you are in Division 2, you can fight someone from Division 1, but you have to use the armour, weapons and rules for hitting from Division 1.
##Permission of the combatant's parent or nominated caregiver.
#If you authorise in adult armoured combat, you have graduated from youth armoured combat and you aren't allowed to take part in youth armoured combat tournaments, except as a bye fighter (you can't win any prizes). You can still take part in youth armoured combat training activities and we encourage you to become a sparring partner, and then a marshal once you turn are 18.
##Permission of the youth armoured combat Marshal-in-Charge.
#If you are a parent or nominated caregiver, you can always spar with your own children. See [[Youth_Armoured_Combat_Draft:Adult Participation|Adult Participation]] for more information.
##Older combatants must fight to the weapon standards, calibration, and rules of the younger combatants being fought. I.e. Division 2 combatants may fight a Division 1 combatant at Division 1 calibration with Division 1 weapons.

#Society rules allow a minor, aged at least 16, to authorise in adult armored combat.

Divisions

  1. There are three divisions for youth armoured combat in Lochac. These are based on age and have different rules for what weapons you can use, what armour you can wear, and how hard you can hit.
    • Division 1 is for children from age 6 to age 9.
    • Division 2 is for children from age 10 to age 13.
    • Division 3 is for children from age 13 to age 17.
  2. Some children are very small or very large for their age, and some grow up earlier or later than others, so you might be moved to a higher division, or a lower division, if your parent asks for that and the marshals say that is allowed.
  3. Sometimes there will only be a small number of fighters at an event or practice, so you can fight others in another division if you have permission from your opponent's parent or nominated caregiver, and the marshal-in-charge.
  4. You have to follow the rules for the division of your opponent if they are younger than you. This means that if you are in Division 2, you can fight someone from Division 1, but you have to use the armour, weapons and rules for hitting from Division 1.
  5. If you authorise in adult armoured combat, you have graduated from youth armoured combat and you aren't allowed to take part in youth armoured combat tournaments, except as a bye fighter (you can't win any prizes). You can still take part in youth armoured combat training activities and we encourage you to become a sparring partner, and then a marshal once you turn are 18.
  6. If you are a parent or nominated caregiver, you can always spar with your own children. See Adult Participation for more information.
